筠州洞山悟本禪師語錄 1.187

1.187

師勘僧曰：「心法雙忘性即真，第幾座？」僧云：「第二座。」師曰：「因什麼不與他第一座？」無對。有一人代云：「非心非法。」師曰：「心法雙忘，即是非法，何更如是道？」無對。師自代曰：「真不得座。」

The Master tested a monk, saying, ''Mind and phenomena both forgotten, the nature is genuine'—which seat is this?' The monk said, 'The second seat.' The Master said, 'Why not give him the first seat?' There was no answer. Someone spoke on his behalf: 'Neither mind nor phenomena.' The Master said, ''Mind and phenomena both forgotten' is already 'neither phenomenon'—why speak like this again?' There was no answer. The Master spoke on his own behalf: 'The genuine does not obtain a seat.'
